Tradesignal Version 7.7.0

Tradesignal 7.7 is the latest iteration of our well known software and inlcudes countless additions, which along with the latest DataConnect and its support for new data sources provides more possibilities then ever.

Advice: When using Tradesignal 7.7.x, we do recommend the latest version of the Tradesignal DataConnect 6.1.x!

Major Trayport data feed improvements

Trayport multi-venue symbol lists

It is now possible to generate a set of symbol lists for Trayport data that combine the same products from multiple venues into a single instrument (requires DataConnect 6.3.1 or above). Right-click on a symbol folder in the symbol toolbox and select "New Multi-venue Symbol List". A dialog will be presented where each of the related products (from different venues) may be added, the number of unifiable contract types will be displayed as each venues is added. The user may additionally choose how many contracts for each period should be generated (so current contract, next contracts, two periods ahead, etc.). Upon completing the wizard, a new set of sub folders will be added below the selected folder containing each contract period (sequence) and below that symbol lists containing combined continuation symbols for the defined number of rolling contracts.

Tradesignal Version 7.6.0

Tradesignal 7.6 is the next iteration of our well known software and together with the latest DataConnect, there are more possibilities then ever before.

Advice: When using Tradesignal 7.6.x, we do recommend the latest version of the Tradesignal DataConnect 5.10.0!

New Tradesignal Improvements

Scheduled scanning

It is now possible to set up scanners to be run a specific times of the day/week (Tradesignal must be running at the time). Once a workspace containing a scanner is saved, go to File > Print > Print & Scan Schedule > Add Schedule to set up a scan schedule. In the resulting dialog, a new drop down list is available that allows the user to select whether to print the workspace, scan in the background or scan in the foreground and save the results. Selecting either of the scanning options will not result in the workspace being printed. Scanning in the background will cause the workspace to be opened at the appropriate time, the scanners run and then the workspace to be closed. Results will not be saved, but any scripts (including those that either generate files or communicate externally) will be executed. Scanning in the foreground will, at the appropriate time, cause the workspace to be visibly opened (if it is not already so) and the scanner to be started. Once complete, the workspace (including the new scanner results) will be saved, the workspace will not be closed automatically.

Convert the currency and/or unit of all watchlist, scanner or portfolio items in one action

The currency of all selected securities in a watchlist, scanner or portfolio can now be changed by select all of the items in the list that should be changed (shift-click to select a range, Ctrl-click to select/deselect individual rows). Then in the property inspector change the currency or unit property to the desired values. The change (if applicable) will be applied to the selected rows.

Category tags for indicator and strategy searches

The indicator and strategies toolboxes can now be filtered by the type of indicator (or strategy) that should be shown. Click on the drop down box below the search box to be shown a list of all available categories, then check those categories (e.g. trend followers) that should be shown. The list of available indicators will be updated to only show trend following indicators. Typing a category name prefixed with an at (@) symbol in the search box will also filter the list by the entered category.

Add categories to any Equilla indicator or strategy

Equilla now supports a new "Categories" keyword that may be added to the meta block of an indicator or strategy. This meta property takes a single string as an argument that contains a semi-colon separated list of category tags that should appear in the indicator and strategy toolbox. When the Equilla script is next compiled the tags will be added to the toolbox list.Meta: Categories("Trend Follower; Momentum");

Additional functions

Strategy Drawdown (STRADD) Indikator

The drawdown indicator plots the current trading system's drawdown. Properties exist allow specification of the period to reset the drawdown calculation (profit taking point) and whether the values are based on Percentage or absolute drawdown.

Strategy Profit & Loss (STRAPL) indicator

The Equity indicator plots a strategies current profit/loss in a subchart. Lines are plotted showing the P&L for long trades, short trades and all trades. Properties allow configuration of which plots to draw.

Displaced Forward Curve indicator

The Forward Curve indicator now has a new property (PlotShift) that allows its output to be displaced into the past by a number of bars. This, for example, allows the indicator to show the previous (or further back) days data, and then to be adjusted to draw from the previous day.

Seasonal Projection (SEPR) indicator

The seasonal projection can be added to any instrument and it will calculate the yearly seasonal average (using percent performance) up to the end of the previous year. It will then adjust that value to the current year and plot it against the data for the current year (projecting it to the end of the current year. Settings exist to plot the seasonal average as a percent performance chart and also to restrict which years will be involved in the average. For example, adding the indicator multiple times each showing one of the previous years is a way to create a year-by-year overlay onto the current year.

Equilla Neuerungen

IsEvaluatingFirstScannerItem()

This function will return true if this is the first row to be evaluated when performing a scan. This method is useful since it allows scripts to perform start-up actions in a scan (such as drawing headers in CSV files).

FilledOrderDrawdown(position, n)

Returns the drawdown of the nth filled order within the specified position counting backwards from the current position (which would be position=0).

FilledOrderRunup(position, n)

Returns the runup of the nth filled order within the specified position counting backwards from the current position (which would be position=0).

Per-trade Drawdown and Runup in the Strategy Performance Report

The trades list in the performance report now contains additional columns for the maximum drawdown and maximum runup for each trade.

Maximum Adverse Excursion & Maximum Favourable Excursion graphs

The Strategy Performance Report now contains two additional graphs, showing maximum adverse excursion for all trades and maximum favourable excursion. The graphs can be shown either using the actual prices or as percentage profit (where multiple securities have differing currencies, for example). The trades shown in the graph can be filtered by profitability or by underlying security. Colors and labels can be configured normally in the property inspector. Hovering over a specific trade in the chart will show information on it, including its identifier in the trades list.

Bugfixes:

Bugfixes in Tradesignal Version 7.6

An applied tool can not be moved sideways if the chart is changed to another period, unless the period is restored to that where the tool was added.

Value scale draws logarithmic, inverted, and data hint symbols in the wrong color, when the text color is set to a non grey-scale value.

Potential crash when evaluating an expression in the debugger containing an array variable with an invalid number of dimensions specified.

Equilla arrays of series type cannot be passed by value to a user function which uses the array variable not in series context (and vice versa).

Array sub expressions in locals view are not updated in the debugger.

Andrew's pitchfork will not raise an alert if the tool is completely drawn back-to-front in the future and the alert prongs are extended into the past.

The prongs of the Andrew's pitchfork tool are not always the same distance from the handle.

Value labels on the Andrew's pitchfork tool change without changing the tool when a logarithmic value scale is used.

Mixing daily and one minute bars in combination with "show gaps" causes very high CPU load and memory usage.

Regression Channel is not always drawn when a saved is opened on Tradesignal Online.

Generating an image from a logarithmic chart that uses indicators bound to both value scales and an indicator that plots invalid data leads to the value scale being blank

The last selected workspace index is not restored when starting the application and workspaces were previously open

Select data inputs dialog should show the RIC not only the display name

Classic theme is not setting the trade label foreground color

Maximum visible instruments setting should not have an effect on scanners

Loading a workspace containing a Market Depth view (Level2 Full Book + "T&S") does not restore the correct layout

Setting a shortcut for a workspace toolbox items changes the sort order of the workspace list

Crash when a printer gets removed while Tradesignal is running and the print preview is switched to the removed printer

Copy & Paste from performance reports renders some values incorrectly

Point & Figure dropdown in chart properties misses the ampersand character

The value scale is drawn too wide, the first time a Fractional Chart is shown

Decimal places are missing when dragging price data from a price editor to Excel

Some licenses do not being reacquired following a reconnect after a DataConnect restart

IntelliSense for Equilla also appears in a html editor

Performance report button is disabled when a portfolio is not in the main desktop

Some P&F columns will be invisible when the width of the columns gets too small

Unhandled NotImplementedException when updating the command state of an instrument listing document in rare cases

Indicator without source code does not show a synopsis tooltip in the toolbox

Selecting a tool using the mouse marks can mark the workspace as being modified

Fibonacci Retracements tool does not generate alerts if both tool points are in the same column

Performance Report switches the view when refreshing

Gann line is not accurate in snap mode when trying to move the line

History length value from a template will not get applied under various circumstances

Feed prefix dropdown is not being updated when reconnecting to a DataConnect with a changed feed configuration

Indicator without source code does not show a synopsis tooltip in the toolbox

Moving the endpoint of a vertically drawn trendline can reposition the wrong point

Watchlist manage object window only strikes out the highlighted indicator when deleted and does not show an undo icon

Fibonacci Retracements left-aligned Labels do not stay visible when scrolling the tool out of the chart

Fibonacci Retracements tool does not generate alerts if both tool points are in the same column

Fibonacci extensions tool cannot be extended to the left by double-clicking the leftmost point of the 0% line

Watchlist wizard: only one symbol list is added even if two are selected

Bugfixes in DataConnect 5.10

Preventing log warning messages for unknown RFA fids when we are not interested in that fid.

Expired Future symbols that provide invalid TS1 data points from the point of expiry onwards, were causing incorrect rollovers to occur for some Thomson Reuters instruments.

Eikon daily data was not requested for power futures like TRDEBMc1 and TRDEBYZ5

Eikon LIBOR RICs were placed in the wrong class leading to empty histories

Changed default date field used for the time service to "ACTIVE DATE"

The Thomson Reuters RIC "JPY1YO=" is not detected as "Deposit

Data for EURUSDREF= and EURCHFREF= cannot be downloaded using an Eikon connection

Multiple tick corrections from Trayport in quick succession for the same symbol are now aggressively pre-filtered and aggregated to minimize, and in some cases obviate, expensive recumulation operations

Yesterday's daily candle is in some cases overwritten with today's open/high/low when the market opens (observed with XETRA DAX stocks)

Added mechanism to continue processing updates even while a tick correction is in progress for a Trayport instrument, preventing the case where an update may appear to arrive delayed if following a tick correction in short duration.

Inconsistently delivered TS1 data for currencies following a recent change by Thomson Reuters creates invalid high and low values.

Tradesignal Version 7.3.0

Tradesignal 7.3 is the next iteration of our well known software and together with the latest DataConnect, there are more possibilities then ever before.

We do now fully support the latest EIKON and in addition to that, we implemented support for the GlobalView dataprovider.

Advice: When using Tradesignal 7.3.x, we do recommend the latest version of the Tradesignal DataConnect 5.10.0!

New Point & Figure Improvements

Point & Figure boxes remain square when zooming

Zooming and scrolling using the panoramic scrollbar or zoom tool, will now ensure that boxes in a Point & Figure chart remain square (so long as the Chart > Squaring property is not set to None). Zooming using the value scale (by right-clicking and dragging) will no longer function by default (hold Ctrl to use the old-style zoom). This behaviour will be disabled if another instrument, that is not compatible with fixed boxes, is dragged into the same sub-chart and onto the same price axis. If there are not enough P&F columns to show the full data range when in full-data view, the chart will pad the view port with empty future date/time values.

Point & Figure Price Targets indicator

The Price Targets Indicator (PFPT) for Point & Figure charts plots price objectives onto the chart. Price objectives are based on counts taken at/near specific patterns. The indicator plots both current and historic objectives and can be configured to show invalidated objectives. Vertical counts are based on the length of a specific column, horizontal on the length of a pattern. Various patterns are supported including specialized handling for one-box reversal charts.

Point & Figure Pole Reversal Indicator

The Pole Reversal Indicator (PFLP) plots symbols onto a P&F chart when a high/low pole pattern is found and the current column retraces more than a specified amount of the pole's length, the so called "Warning". It can be configured to generate an alert when a warning is generated. The indicator shows pole reversal warnings both historically and in realtime.

Point & Figure Pattern Indicator

The Patterns Indicator (PFPAT) for Point and Figure charts, highlights common top/bottom-based patterns including multi-tops and catapults.

Control the color change of Point & Figure charts

A point and figure chart now has a new property called "Color Change". This is used to determine when the coloring of the chart changes from Color 1 to Color 2. By default, the color will change when the month of a box changes. It is possible to change this value to allow the color to change on a weekly, daily or hourly based, or indeed wheever a new column is created.

Enhanced User-Interface

Enhanced Ribbon Shortcuts to Indicators and Strategies with different properties

Add an indicator (or strategy) to the Toolbar by right-clicking on it and selecting "Create Custom Shortcut". The shortcut will appear in green on Ribbon Toolbar in the Home > Favorites section. The same indicator can be added multiple times. Right-click on the shortcut to change its display name or any of its properties (e.g. period). In this way you can have a button on the toolbar for SMA10, SMA20 and SMA30 at the same time. These green shortcuts can also be added to the Custom Toolbar in the normal ways.

Add sub-menu items (periods, chart-types, etc.) to the Custom Toolbar

The majority of sub-menus on the Ribbon Toolbar (periods, time spans, chart types, etc.) now all have icons and can be added to the Custom Toolbar either by right-clicking on the button when the menu is shown and selecting the option "Add to Quick Access Toolbar", or by using the Toolbar configuration tool located at File > Options > Personalize > Ribbon Toolbar.

Pan chart with right-click and drag

Clicking and holding the right mouse button in a chart and then dragging the mouse will now pan the chart either vertically or horizontally. Right-click and release (without dragging) still shows the chart's context menu.

Additional functions

Measurement tool

A new tool has been added that functions like a trendline, but always shows the measurements for the time period and value range covered. These measurements can still be activated on a normal trendline.

Rubberband chart snap mode

Chart snap mode will now only snap tool end points when the point approaches within a specific distance of a viable price. The snap mode may be temporarily enabled by holding the Ctrl Key while manipulating a tool.

If a tool is moved while snap mode is active, the tool point closest to where the tool was grabbed will be used to determine how the tool gets snapped. In the past, the exact point grabbed was used. This feature along with the rubberband snap mode makes moving tools precisely easier.

Show time and price difference when drawing tools/moving tool end points

When a tool end point is being positioned, a new temporary label will be shown, indicating the number of bars and price differences from another tool point the tool may have (this only applies to tools with more than one end point). This label will also show the actual time period spanned (in calendar units) in addition to the number of bars.

Limiting drawn tool prices to relevant precision

All tools when drawn in a chart will only be snapped to prices that are 1/10th of the highest precision price associated with the parent chart object. The price values shown in the inspector can still be set manually to any precision.

Equilla Neuerungen

ResultString = Replace(String, FindText, ReplaceText, IngnoreCase)

Search the input string for all instances of the FindText and replace them with the Replace Text. Setting IgnoreCase to true will make the search and replace case-insensitive.

Split (ResultArray, String, Delimiters)

Split the input String into sub-strings separated by any of the characters in the Delimiters string (empty strings will be skipped). The results will be copied into the Result Array. The array must either be dynamic or large enough to hold the resulting sub-strings.

Result = IsBarOne()

Return true if CurrentBar = 1. This is just a shortcut. Please remeber that CurrentBar = 1 is different from CurrentBar = FirstBar.

ResultSpan = DateDiff(Interval, Date1, Date2)

Return the difference in Interval units between the two dates. (a negative value is possible). Interval can be one of Interval_Day, Interval_Hour, Interval_Minute or Interval_Second.

The New DataConnect 5.10

EIKON 4.x Timeseries API

Next to the existing support of Thomson Reuters EIKON 3.3 and 4.0.2 (and above), Tradesignal now supports the new Timeseries API that was introduced with Thomson Reuters EIKON 4.0.

GlobalView Data Feed

DataConnect now supports also realtime and historic data acquisition from GlobalView.

Bloomberg B-Pipe Data Feed

DataConnect now fully supports the Bloomberg B-Pipe. This allows organizations to have a single centralized data server for all of their Tradesignal clients, which brings significant advantages in terms of user and data management. This also means that clients no longer require a Bloomberg Software presence on the same machine as the Tradesignal client software. Each user does still require a valid Bloomberg logon to access the service as per the usual requirements of B-Pipe.

Bloomberg Server API Data Feed

The Bloomberg Desktop API support has now been extended to support the Bloomberg Server API (SAPI). This means that if an organization has the Server API installed, users will be able to access it from machines running Tradesignal without having the full Bloomberg Professional Terminal present. A local Bloomberg presence on the machine is necessary as per the usual requirements of using BB SAPI.

Trayport Product Change Detection database journal is never compacted

Cache Maintenance Tool changes the DataCache file field when the Backup Location field is changed using the file picker

Tradesignal Version 7

With the new Tradesignal 7, we have improved the graphical user interface and added a lot of helpful new Features and functions.

The Equilla area also got some new features. A debugger will help you to find logical bugs in source codes.

Advice: If you are using Tradesignal 7, we recommend at least Tradesignal DataConnect 5.6.0!

New functionality

New user interface

Office 2010 Look & Feel

The application now uses the look and feel of the Office 2010 suite. This includes support for the tab-based ribbon and the command line below that. The so-called backstage view replaces the file menu as a way to better manage file related operations.

Undo functionality

If a close or delete operation occurs, a pop-up displayed at the bottom of the application will appear allowing the LAST operation to be undone. This dialog can be dismissed, although the operation will be available via a link at the top of the application called "unremove". An application setting is available to never show the unremove pop-up, but rather only the link at the top of the application.

Deleted workspaces, indicators, etc. are moved to the Windows recycle bin

When an Equilla file, workspace or template is deleted, it will be moved to the windows recycle bin, allowing their recovery if desired. There will no longer be a question if the item should be removed (this and the undo feature make such a question unnecessary).

Weekday filter for day-ahead contracts

For Day-Ahead-Contracts you can set which weekdays are valid for thenext contract selection. A Day-Ahead-Contract can be set for a Rollover,which for ex-ample will run only on Mondays.

Debugger

Equilla Debugger

Transmission errors in trading systems and indicators in Equilla can be automatically checked by the new Debugger with pre-set parameters. The Debugger can also be set to monitor and stop automated trading systems, in order to let the user make improvements.

Breaking on runtime errors

By default, if a runtime error occurs, the debugger will automatically break on the instruction that caused the error. This allows the developer to identify exactly what went wrong, without having to manually set breakpoints to stop just before the error.

This feature may be enabled or disabled in the property inspector, using the Break on Runtime Error property.In the case that runtime errors are disabled in a Equilla Script, the break point will still be triggered, although the execution can then be resumed afterwards.

See Money Management in Equilla

With the Equilla interface you have access to data in Money Management. This read function Money Management can be used directly in your trading strategies and indicator.

Customizable Toolbar

Customizable ribbon toolbar

A new customizable toolbar has been added, that allows any of the commands available on the ribbon to be placed on it. Simply right click on a ribbon button and selected "add to toolbar".

Enhanced Ribbon Shortcuts to Indicators and Strategies with different properties

Add an indicator (or strategy) to the toolbar by right-clicking on it and selecting "Create Custom Shortcut". The shortcut will appear in green on Ribbon Toolbar in the Home > Favorites section. The same indicator can be added multiple times with different settings.

Favorite indicators and strategies on the ribbon

Any indicators and strategies that have been marked with a tag (using the right-click context menu to set yellow, red or blue tag), will be additionally added to the Ribbon in a special group called Favorites.

Customizable toolbar

Sort your toolbar the way you want to. You sort the entries in every order you want to. You can move the toolbar to the left or split it and have it even on both sides. You can also minimize the too and unfold it with a simple click.

Alert-Window

The alert window can be minimized and it will indicate using an icon, if an alert has been triggered.

Mini-Toolbar

Mini toolbar to access chart tools

A mini toolbar containing each of the available chart tools will be displayed whenever the context menu for a chart is shown (by right-clicking in a chart). This mini toolbar is intended to save the user time when drawing a number of tools into a chart.

Fibonacci Extensions

A new tool has been added to the chart, that allows creation of Fibonacci Extensions. When drawing this tool, an appropriate third point will be calculated (and later freely repositioned). This tool supported all of the options available for Fibonacci retracements, including alert support.

User-defined extension of Fibonacci Retracement chart tool

It is now possible to manually resize the left and right extension of the Fibonacci Retracement tool by left-clicking and dragging the ends of one of the retracement lines (the top-left and bottom-right corners still change the calculation range of the tool).

Change font, size, position and back color of Trading Strategy Labels

Properties have been added in both the Chart and Trading Strategy categories of the property inspector that allow a significant amount of customization of how Trading Strategy labels are displayed. It is now possible to modify the Font and Font Size of the label's text, set the background color of the label, change the size of the arrows and change the distance that the arrows are from the candles. There is also an option to force the full name of the strategy label to be shown, even if it is very long.

Point & Figure midpoint value for indicator calculations

The point & figure chart type now provides an additional field call midpoint (in addition to open, high, low, close). The mid point is the value of the middle box in a specific column (or the midpoint between two when the column has an even number of boxes). When an indicator is applied to a point & figure chart, this new field may be selected from the property inspector, in preference to the close field in the indicators Price input property. Please note, it is not possible to explicitly code for this field from within Equilla.

Point & Figure single box reversal display mode

A new property has been added to point & figure charts to control how single box reversal columns are drawn. The "standard" approach is to compress the single box column into the next column. The "New Column" option will always start a new column after the single box reversal. Workspaces containing Point & Figure charts will default to the New Column approach (which was the method from the prior version). Newly created charts will default to the Standard approach.

Full-text search for help articles

The search in the Help band in the Toolbox will now also search the full content of help files for keywords instead of just the help article's title.

Templated charts update when the linked template is changed

Templates applied to a chart will now remain linked to the chart. When a template is subsequently changed, all charts linked to that template will be updated to reflect the changes in the template. A chart can be unlinked from its template using an option in the template menu on the ribbon. The auto updating of templated charts can be disabled globally in the options page.

It should be possible to open a non color-linked chart (or other document) from a watchlist (et al.) by holding the control key when using the "open in chart" context menu item

Optimized performance in watch list and portfolio.

DataConnect 5.7

Additional fields for Bloomberg instruments

It is now possible to configure that data collection for the Bloomberg feed to allow additional fields to be charted for different instrument types. This is described in full in section 6.3.1 of ther Tradesignal DataConnect User Guide.

Import generic CSV data files

The data import wizard available in the console now supports CSV files in a user-defined format. A tool in the wizard can be used to describe the format in a file and then be resued to read multiple files in that format. The wizard and CSV format tools are described in section 13 of the Tradesignal DataConnect user guide.

Import Thomson Reuters Tick History (TRTH) CSV data files

The data import wizard available in the console now supports CSV files in the TRTH file format.

Bugfixes:

Bugfixes in Tradesignal Version 7

Instance fields do not get reconnected following a manual reconnect.

Manual reconnect of the TeleTrader feed drops some instrument subscriptions.

Unhandled exception occurs when showing the Save and Send backstage view after having previously deselected the current tab with Ctrl-clicking.

Charts containing DataConnect symbols in pass-through mode will not be properly reconnected when DataConnect is restarted.

Release Notes Tradesignal Version 7

Tradesignal Version 6.3.0

For the latest release of Tradesignal the alarm functions have been enhanced and also the notifications by e-mail have been revised in this context.

In the Equilla area are also a major innovations. The connection of your own extensions can now be realised with a COM / .NET interface using appropriate programming languages ​​(C + +, C #, VB.NET, etc.).

Note: If Tradesignal 6.3.0 is used, we recommend at least the Tradesignal Market Data System 5.2.0!

New Features

Alarmfunktion für Werkzeuge

Tools alerts

Tools that generate alerts now have additional options for generating when the alert is generated. All alerting tools now support a new Trigger property called 'Hit or Crossed' that will generate an alert when the price touches or goes over the tool. The existing "Crossed" mode generates the alert only when the price goes from below or on the tool to over it. Channel tools (Trend Channel, Andrew's Pitchfork and Linear Regression Channel) now have a new trigger called 'Break-in/Break-out' that will generate an alert when the price crosses into or out of the channels area, the alert will be tagged with whether it was a break-in or break-out, and whether that occurred due to sideways entry or exit.

Benutzerdefinierte Alarmbezeichnung

Custom text field for tool alerts

Tools that generate alerts (Trendline, Trend channel, Linear regression channel, Fibonacci retracement, Andrew's pitchfork and Stopline), all now have a new property called Alert Name, that allows text to be freely entered. This text will be added to any alerts generated from this tool and visible in the Signal column in the alert window.

Alerts evaluated for all data points on forward curves, and other chart types with 'future' date/time bars

Alert generating tools can now be fully used on forward curves. If any point on the forward curve crosses a tool configured to generate alerts, this alert will be generated as expected (in former versions of Tradesignal, only the last ticking point in a forward curve could trigger alerts).

Tick-by-tick tool alerts

All alerts generated on tools will now be checked against the immediately preceding tick for crosses, as opposed to the open of the current bar.

Ausgabefenster für Alarme

Alert window with selectable columns, highlighted alerts and support for copy to clipboard

The alert window at the bottom of the application window, now allows the columns to be selected from list of all available columns. To pick columns, right click on the column titles and select 'Add/remove columns', then drag and drop columns to and from the picker that is displayed. Alerts shown in the alert window that have been selected to be 'highlighted' in the options dialog, will be displayed bold, with a check next to them (click the check box to un-highlight them). This highlighting feature can be enabled for all alerts, and acts as a mechanism to mark the alerts as 'read'. Highlighted alerts that are displayed in the alert popup, will not automatically disappear. The right-click context menu for the alert window can now also be used to copy selected alerts to the Windows clipboard, hold Ctrl when selecting to select multiple alerts (or Ctrl-A to select all alerts).

Maximise mode for the alert window

The collapsible alert/output window at the bottom of the main interface window now can be temporarily maximized by double-clicking on the tab of the page to maximize, double-clicking a second time will restore the previous size. A button to the right of the alert/output window tabs can also be used to perform the maximize operation.

Pop-up für Alarme

New alert pop-up that stays visible until dismissed

Alerts that can popup a window will now be collected in a single popup, with buttons that allow upto the last 100 alerts (since the popup was shown) to be browsed. So long as there is at least one 'highlighted' alert in the popup, the popup will not automatically be hidden. Clicking on the popup will jump to the source of the alert, when navigating the displayed alerts, clicking on the right arrow with a red cross will also clear the highlight on the shown alert.

Alarm Optionen

Alert sounds, emailing and other options configurable by alert type

The alerts page in the options dialog now allows individual specification of sound effects, emailing, alert popup and highlighting for different types of alerts, most notably: Informational, Warning, Order Routing, Data-feed, Indicator (Equilla Alert function), Chart Tools (separately Cross, Break-in, Break-out) and Trading Strategy (separately Place long entry, Place short entry, Place long exit, Place short exit, Order filled, Order modified, Trail stop modified and Order cancelled).

From now on, e-mailed alerts contain the instrument name in the subject line.

Arbeitsbereich Navigation

Improved workspace tab bar navigation

A menu to the right of the workspace tab bar can now be used to show a list of all open workspaces (non-visible workspaces are shown more prominently). The close button has been moved onto the active workspace tab to avoid hitting it when using the workspace next/previous buttons (and an option in the options dialog has been added to hide this close button completely).

Ausführungsfrequenz für Hintergrund-Charts

Option to reduce evaluation frequency for non-visible workspaces

A setting has been added under "File > Tradesignal Options > Advanced", that when enabled (default is off), will reduce how often a chart is updated when it is in a non-visible workspace. When the chart becomes visible it will be immediately updated.

The use of the function can significantly reduce the CPU load when a large number of fast ticking charts need to be left open. In addition to enabling the feature, the update frequency in seconds can also be specified to a value between 0.5 and 60 (the default is 5 seconds).

Please note: Use of this feature will mean that alert generation from charts in non-visible workspaces will also be delayed by up to the user set update delay.

Equilla now supports a new mechanism for providing extension objects and functions (the previous mechanism remains fully supported, but will not be further enhanced). First an author must create one or more objects that support the IEquillaExtension interface in any COM-aware language: C++, C#, VB.NET, etc. and then register the DLL containing that object on the target system (normal COM registration with regsvr32.exe). Once registered, the object can be used from Equilla using the new "objects" block.

Tradesignal includes four sample projects that demonstrate the various extension features, including overlaying RSS data on a chart (C#), pushing trading data into Microsoft Excel (C#) and reading text files (C++).

Read text files from Equilla scripts

Using the Equilla.TextFileReader extension object it is possible to read text files that are present on the local or a network file system. The source code of this object is included in the setup.

Access RSS feeds from an Equilla indicator

A new indicator is available called RSS that allows the URL of an RSS feed to be given as input; it will overlay the events from that feed as clickable markers onto a chart. This indicator uses the Equilla.RSSReader extension object; the source code of which is included in the setup.

Active strategy orders persist across bars

When an order generated by an Equilla Trading Strategy remains active over subsequent bars with no changes (or just modifications) the Trading Engine will no longer cancel and regenerate these orders for each bar, but rather keep them active until they are filled or the script cancels them.

45° degree snap mode for point and figure trendlines

Tools drawn into a point & figure chart will be in snap mode by default (snapping to the nearest box), and will only allow drawing of 45 degree, horizontal or vertical lines. Holding of the Ctrl key will allow free drawing of lines (or by toggling off the snap mode option).

Workspace item tabs synchronized with primary chart item display name

The default title for a workspace chart item (as found on the workspace item tab) will now be obtained from the first instrument or spread found in the chart. This title will stay synchronized with the chart item even if the display name changes due to a rollover or a spread is updated to contain new constituents. The title may be manually changed either by moving an alternative instrument to the top of the chart or by using the workspace item rename operation found by right-clicking on the workspace item tab.

Automatically update linked synthetic symbols

Synthetic symbols that are used in charts, watchlists, etc. that have been added from the symbol list toolbox will now automatically be updated when the symbol in the toolbox is changed. The automatic update will apply to all open and closed workspaces. If the symbol is edited directly in a chart an option will be presented to apply this to all charts using the symbol or to unlink the symbol and make a local copy.

Additional Features:

The formula editor window should remember the user set window size.

It should be possible to E-Mail workspaces with SMTP, if that is preferred over MAPI.

Symbol lists with symbol codes (e.g. Reuters chain RICs) should display the code in the symbol list toolbox next to the list name. This allows the code to be easily found, for example, when entering a chain code into an indicator that accepts such a code as input to the Instruments: List("") function.

Excel correlation calculation option to the correlation indicator and a Correl() user function.

Optimized memory usage for many full-screen charts, where most are non-visible due to stacked workspace tabs.

Tradesignal now includes a limit for maximum open instruments and a limit for maximum free memory before certain large memory consuming tasks can be started (e.g. scanning and optimization). Both of these limits can be increased/decreased in the options dialog, although this is not recommended.

System resource monitor now runs more frequently, to identify problems earlier.

New Equilla functions to query the order id of a given order: GetActiveOrderId(index) returns the current id of the order at the given index. FilledOrderId(position, index) returns the current id of the filled order from the specified position and index within that position.

It is now possible to set the default history length for daily, intra-daily and tick charts up to 50,000 bars (up from 10,000).

It is now possible to set the history length of a scanner up to 500,000 bars (up from 5,000).

DataConnect 5.6.0 - Trayport Enhancements

It is now possible to create continuous contract symbols for the Trayport feed that exclude specific contracts, if the contract sequence type is monthly or daily. When month filtering is used, a contract rollover will always jump over any months that have been excluded. When weekday filtering is used, a contract rollover will always jump over any excluded weekdays. It is therefore possible to create a continuation that rolls from Monday to Monday, and another for Tuesday to Tuesday if it is so desired.

Simplified symbol mapping for Trayport symbols

Implemented new mapping approach based on alias names specifiable by instrument, sequences, and a generation pattern for sequence item ids. This feature allows an administrator to provide a one time mapping of each instrument ID and sequence ID and a definition of how sequence items should be described. Thereby preventing the need to map every symbol individually.

Faster creation of Trayport continuation symbols

Server calculated Trayport continuation symbols will now load significantly faster. A new configuration option was created that allows to skip further contract history requests when a number of consecutive requests for newer contracts did not yield any data. This is especially helpful for daily contracts, saving hundreds of useless request.

DataConnect 5.5.0 - See your own Trades

Tradesignal DataConnect extending Trayport functionality

Tradesignal DataConnect along with Tradesignal 6.3.9 is now able to provide functions for determining if a named user was a participant in a deal. These new functions are only available with using a Trayport tick-by-tick chart. Tradesignal includes two indicators, "SimplifiedDailyProfit" and "Show My Trades" that illustrate the new functions in use. This feature requires Tradesignal DataConnect 5.5 or above.

Tradesignal DataConnect is now able to either connect to the Thomson Reuters platform using the SFC interface, or the new (and significantly faster) RFA interface using the OMM data model. This OMM model is only supported by TREP-RT (and not earlier version of RMDS). RFA with OMM does provide significant performance enhancements over the older SFC interface approach.

Per symbol custom configuration of data history length

Default data sweep settings can now be overridden on a per-symbol basis, which means that you can define, how much data shall be collected for a specific symbol.

Support for non-standard weekly-aligned candles

This new feature adds support for Middle-Eastern exchanges like Dubai (week starts on Sunday) or Riyadh (week starts on Saturday). There is a set of known non-standard week exchanges preconfigured. New exchanges can be added (or existing ones modified). Changes will be immediately applied to existing instruments.

New administrative enhancements

Wartungsassistent

Cache maintenance tool

This new tool can be started from the DataConnect Console file menu and allows an administrator to compact a DataConnect cache file and optimize its performance on large long running servers. The compacting operations, reduces data fragmentation that reduces file size and improves seek times.

Permanently hide uninteresting ticks/bars

In addition to deleting ticks and bars via the console (which would be restored with the next historic data update), it is now possible to mark a tick or bar as inactive in the historic data view in the DataConnect console, whereby it will no longer be delivered to clients or used when calculating higher period bars. The inactive state is persistent event through a restore of historic data. An inactive bar can be reactivated via the Reset Data button (or context menu option) for the affected data row. Inactive bars will be shown faded-out in the data grid.

Clear user edited bar status for an individual bar

It is now possible in the DataConnect Console, to reset a user-modified bar or tick to its original value. Previously this reset action was only available for all bars of a symbol. When viewing the historic data for a symbol, user edited bars will be bold, and a Reset Data button at the end of the data row can be clicked to restore the data to that of the data source. Please note, that the Command Restore Historic Data must also be run after resetting the individual bar and clicking Save.

Automatically re-cumulate data when importing lower period data

The data import wizard now contains a checkbox that when checked, will force DataConnect to recalculate higher data periods, when new lower period data (such as tick data) is imported. This feature means, that a user will no longer start a recumulation manually after a batch data import.

Better selection of which symbols to export/synchronise

In both the data export and synchronize wizards, it is now possible to search for symbols by name or partial name and select exportable options from within the search results. Thereby allowing, for example all symbols starting with, e.g. "TR" to be quickly exported.

Automatically refresh recent Trayport historic data

Historic tick corrections may for some reason go unnoticed in collected historic data (the correction occurred during server maintenance, for example). This new option (which is disabled by default) may be configured in the Trayport Feed handler settings, to refresh the recent historic Trayport data during the night and ensure that it completely represents the data in the Trading Gateway. User-edited bars will not be overwritten by this update. The number of hours of data to refresh is configurable.

Additional Quote Fields for Bloomberg data fields

Tradesignal users will now see a larger list of available fields in the Add/Remove columns dialog for a watchlist, when using Bloomberg data. Fields available are PE_RATIO, PX_TO_SALES_RATIO, VOTALITY_30D, PX_TO_BOOK_RATIO, OPER_MARGIN, 30DAY_IMPVOL_100.0%MNY_DF and RETURN_COM_EQY

Tradesignal DataConnect/Tradesignal Market Data System 5.4.0

Name Change

Tradesignal Market Data System is changing to Tradesignal DataConnect

With the current update the name of Tradesignal Market Data System 5.4 (TMDS) will be changed to Tradesignal DataConnect 5.4. Thereby the name will be shortened and an abbreviation is not so necessary.

New Tradesignal Features

Thomson Reuters On-Demand Modus

Clients who use Thomson Reuters Eikon or Kobra 3000 are now able to activate tick data and histories directly in Tradesignal without additional storage. This feature is an advantage for clients who prefer not to use a local server infrastructure.

Continous Day-Ahead-Contracts for Trayport

The symbol lists for Trayport have been expanded and now include an adapted list to represent Day-Ahead-Contracts without Weekend-Contracts. In contrast to the weekly lists with weekends they can now be used as continuous contracts with no break during the weekends.

Administrative Improvements

Fewer Restarts

Whilst functions are running, changes can now be made to Tradesignal DataConnect settings without having to restart. Settings that do need a restart will be indicated with a star (*).

Tradesignal OpenConnect SDK Improvements

New interface with automatic Time Format – Conversiong

With the new interface IMetaFieldSet2 it is no longer necessary to supply all inhouse data in UTC Time format to Tradesignal OpenConnect. Price data can be left in its original format and will be automatically converted through OpenConnect.

Tradesignal OpenConnect-Instrument with flexible time settings

With the new IMetaFieldSet2 interface it will be immediately possible to regulate the rollover times of daily data for every instrument.

If problems arise with the daily data bank backup, an error message will now be written in the data log.

For serverside continuous contracts the price data for the Backward-Adjustment calculation can now be set with the following methods: PrevClose/Open, PrevClose/PrevClose, PrevOpen/PrevOpen or PrevOpen/Open.

For Thomson-Reuters clients who use Fixed Income Products, along with histories for Last, Best Bid and Best Ask in Future-Contracts, histories for Yield will also be available, for example with Instruments such as FGBLc1 or USc1.

Tradesignal Market Data System 5.3.0

Benachrichtigungen für auslaufende Lizenzen

Alert prior to license expiry

It is possible to configure that a log file, windows event log and optionally an email alert is generated a set number of days prior to the expiry of a TMDS license. The options are available from the TMDS Settings Dialog, and by default will generate an alert 7 days before license expiry.

On-demand instruments

Certain data-feeds can now be configured to be available 'on-demand'. For such data-feeds, that provide comprehensive realtime, historic and entitlement data, duplicating the data management and storage in the TMDS may not be desirable. Such data-feeds can now be configured in their appropriate configuration pages (or configuration files in the case of OpenConnect feeds) to be available on-demand only.

On-demand data feeds will make their connection to the source data, only when clients are first connected. Advising and releasing instruments will only occur as users actively access them. Historic data for on-demand feeds will not be cached in the TMDS, but rather obtained directly from source.

New Bloomberg data feed connections will be on-demand by default (this can be disabled in the options).

OpenConnect feeds can be made on-demand by setting "General/PersistentSymbols=0" in the openconnect.ini file for a specific feed.

It is now possible to enable SNMP support in TMDS via the "Manage Settings > SNMP" tab. Any SNMP management application will be able to monitor various metrics published by the TMDS including license usage, user activity, connection status, consumption limits, CPU usage, etc. The TMDS will also send alerts in the form of SNMP traps to any listening management applications. The SNMP support is read only. The Windows SNMP Agent Service must be installed to make use of this feature. Please refer to the TMDS User Guide for full details of setting up the TMDS SNMP feature and how to install the Windows SNMP Agent.

Automatically obtain historic daily/intraday data via Kobra/Eikon when running on the same workstation

When Tradesignal and TMDS are running on the same workstation as a Kobra or Eikon terminal, TMDS will automatically obtain historic data from the local DBU using the Thomson Reuters DEX API. When the TMDS is not on the same workstation as Kobra/Eikon, or when there is no DBU available, or when the DEX API is not installed, TMDS will fallback to obtaining interday data from TS1 as in previous versions. TMDS will always try to obtain historic data via Kobra/Eikon unless the setting 'Manage Datafeeds > Reuters Feed > Backfill historic data from Kobra/Eikon (via DEX API)' is unchecked. To refetch historic data, for example after tick corrections in the DBU, a user can either select 'Restore Default Historic Data' from the TMDS Management Console or 'Manage Sessions > Reload Historic Data' from within Tradesignal.

Release Notes Tradesignal Version 6.3

Tradesignal Version 6.2.0

The newest release of Tradesignal provides a configurable account currency for portfolio trading strategies. Furthermore, the "Search and Replace"-dialog in the Equilla editor has been changed. For the data provider Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, Trayport and OpenConnect it is now possible to create server-side user-defined rolling forward contracts. Additional, the Trade Signal Market Data System works in the latest version also as a proxy for the Thomson Reuters DACS authentification and can also provide the Level II data for Nasdaq and NYSE.

New Features

Configurable account currency for portfolio trading strategies

It is now possible to specify the Account Currency of a chart or portfolio, so that all statistics and equity curves will be shown converted to this currency (for example when trading currency pairs).

The statistics currency can be chosen in the property inspector under "Money Management > Statistics Currency > Currency".

The algorithm to calculate historic exchange rates can also be selected in this section.

Close of Previous Bar - Use the currency values at the close of the previous bar.

Arithmetic Mean - Calculates the arithmetic mean of Open, High, Low and Close at the current bar.

Midrange - Uses the average of the highest and lowest currency value at the current bar.

Arithmetic Mean without Open - The average of High, Low and Close currency values at the current bar.

Close Weighted Mean - Calculate the arithmetic mean of High, Low and 2x Close at the current bar.

Open Weighted Mean - Calculate the arithmetic mean of 2x Open, High and Low at the current bar.

Finally, a mode exists to use the currency conversion to calculate equity to the generation of automatic risk stops, this can be set by toggling the option "Money Management > Statistics Currency > Apply To Risk".

The following functions have been added to Equilla so that strategy authors can make use of the new Properties directly in their scripts: GlobalStatisticsCurrency(),StatisticsCurrencyMode(), StatisticsCurrencyFactor [of Data1].

Inline Suche

Equilla Editor inline search and replace.

The search and replace dialog in the Equilla Editor has been replaced with a toolbar that pops up at the top of an editor when the "Find" ribbon button is pressed. This toolbar remains visible untill hidden by the user. The toolbar makes it easier to repeat the searching operations.

Point & Figure revised

Point and Figure has been revised to exactly match the algorithm in the book "The Complete Guide to Point-and-Figure Charting" by Heinrich Weber and Kermit Zieg.

Equilla - CreateSortedIndexArray

CreateSortedIndexArray behaves differently than other array functions and does not skip the element at index 0. Existing workspaces will function in the old way untill the script is recompiled at which point the new behavior will be active.

Tradesignal Market Data System 5.2.0

It is now possible to create server-side continuation symbols (UDCs) for any Future contract sequence available on Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, Trayport and OpenConnect. These new symbols are server-side and will collect in intraday and interday periods (the previous Reuters only implementation only collected daily data).

The symbols will be shared by all users who request the same instrument with the same set of parameters, significantly reducing the load on the Tradesignal Market Data System.

A UDC symbol can be created and saved to the Symbols Toolbox by starting the New Symbol Wizard and selecting User-defined continutation. In the wizard, it is still possible to create the old Reuters interday-only UDCs by checking the "Legacy UDC" check box, these legacy UDCs continue to have the option of rolling based on Volume and Open Interest, but otherwise offer only disadvantages over the new server-side UDCs (e.g. slower startup time).

Please note that the feature to restrict which months are included in the continuation, is only respected by Reuters and Bloomberg exchange traded futures. Symbol lists containing UDCs can be shared between users like any other symbol lists.

Reuters Entitlement Proxy-Server

The Tradesignal Market Data System now acts as a proxy to the DACS entitlement system, so that Tradesignal clients no longer need to make their own connections to any other server than a Tradesignal Market Data System. This new service will automatically be used by an installed Tradesignal Market Data System for all Tradesignal clients from version 6.2. The old client-side behaviour will continue to function for Tradesignal versions 6.1 and earlier. The same DACS settings entered into Tradesignal (User and Position) will continue to work with the new system. The Tradesignal Market Data System-Console allows configuration of this service in the connection settings for a Reuters feed. Log messages will be dumped to the main console log.

Please note: Tradesignal 6.2 clients will no longer be able to permission symbols on earlier Tradesignal Market Data System versions unless the Reuters SFC components are installed by a local administrator to the Tradesignal install directory.

Symbol Gruppierung

Drill-down grouping of symbols

The symbol list in the Tradesignal Market Data System-Console now groups the symbols by type. To navigate, for example, to a specifc future symbol under Reuters one must first click on Futures, then the root code and finally the continuous symbols group.

Grouping for Trayport symbols is in line with the normal Trayport folder structure. At the top of the list of groups there is a link to navigate upwards and another to show all symbols without grouping.

Reuters Level II data for Nasdaq and NYSE

The Tradesignal Market Data System can now forward market depth data for Nasdaq and NYSE for displaying in the Tradesignal Level II workspace element.

Release Notes Tradesignal version 6.2

Tradesignal Version 6.0.0

This release contains lots of additional options and application possibilities for even more efficient and successful trading. For instance, forward curves have been extended and can now be processed individually with the formula language Equilla.

Inline instruments can also now be replaced by inputs, which allows the variation of indicators and trading systems and the individual development of complete portfolios.

Also new: multidimensional arrays and an extension of the Point & Figure charts with various Boxside modes.

Charting

Forward Curves

Forward Curve als Overlay

Forward Curves Label

A new design for Forward Curves

The energy trading segment’s ever-popular Forward Curves has been completely revamped in the new Tradesignal.

The most significant improvement is that the programming language Equilla has now been linked to Forward Curves, allowing the application of complex calculations and strategies. It is now also possible to adjust Forward Curves periods with new options for obtaining intraday, weekly or monthly data. Displacements are still possible of course, but drawing tools and indicators can now also be used with Forward Curves.

Once created, a Forward Curve can be saved as a symbol in a symbol list so it can be used again later or made available to other colleagues. Furthermore, Forward Curves can be displayed alongside normal charts as an overlay, allowing you to simultaneously view the price of the current contract and the Forward Curves for all contracts within the same chart.

Also new is the option to create a Forward-Curve from a self-defined symbol list. In this way you are no longer limited to a pre-defined list.

An additional new indicator is the 'Forward Curve Label', providing a label for each contract within a Forward Curve.

Point & Figure Chart

Enhanced Point&Figure Chart

In addition to a new rasterized background display, the new Point & Figure Chart also provides a number of new box-sized options to different existing theories of the Point & Figure Display. The rasterized display has been optimised for the P & F Chart so that drawing tools can be used in the boxes of the charts.

The following options are available:

Constant (Price)

Constant (Points)

Close (%)

Average True Range (Periods)

Logarithmic (%)

Two new indicators designed especially for the Point & Figure Charts automatically draw trend lines, resistance lines and support lines.

Invertierte Darstellung

Inverted chart display

The entire chart – including drawing tools and indicators – can be inverted, showing the highest value of the scale on the bottom and the zero-line on top.

Improved Display

Bid/Ask

Times & Sales display

The display of Times & Sales was also upgraded. The bid/ask updates are now in one single column and can be zoomed-in or zoomed-out of, simplifying the process of differentiating between bid/ask and updates for the latest prices.

Prozentuale Veränderung

Displaying absolute & percentage-based changes

The absolute and percentage-based change to the previous candle will now be displayed in the legend.

Darstellung Chart-Legende

Displaying the Chart Legend for spreads

The Chart Legend for command line formulas has also been improved: When you enter a formula (e.g. spread) in the command line of Tradesignal, the actual name is displayed in the legend of the chart, offering better readability. This is very useful when working with a data provider whose symbol is not expressive.

OHLC-Charts für Spreads

OHLC Charts for spreads

In addition to being displayed linearly, spreads can now also be displayed as OHLC Charts.

Verbindungslinien im Symbol-Chart

Connection lines in the Symbol Chart

In the chart type ‛Symbol’ the properties menu now allows you to create connector lines between individual points.

New assistants to facilitate your work

The new Tradesignal now provides you with various assistants that will considerably facilitate your work.

Equilla Input-Assistent

The Equilla Input-Assistent

The first assistant is the new Equilla Input Assistant. This allows you to create an indicator output without first having to open the input of an indicator in a chart.

To do this, an assistant opens when an indicator is used, allowing you to select the necessary inputs (instruments or outputs of other indicators). The result of a Crack Spread, for instance, can be displayed without having to open the inputs ‘crude oil’, ‘gasoline’ and ‘heating oil’ as charts. Only the Crack Spread has to be displayed.

Seasonal Chart Assistent

The assistant for Seasonal Charts

Another new feature is the assistant for Seasonal Charts that allows you to create a chart for individual contracts in a few simple steps. An automatically created indicator displays the seasonal average for all futures contracts.

Percent Performance Assistent

The assistant for the Percent Performance Chart

An additional assistant will help you to create a Percent Performance Chart, which offers a range of options. You can add individual prices and entire market lists as charts, and define the start date and chart type. The properties menu allows you to adjust the selected date for the chart. You can use the formula language Equilla by applying, for example, spreads to the charts.

User-friendly interface

Money Management

Start and end date in Money Management

The Money Management feature now allows you to set not only the start date but also the end date for a trading strategy. This allows you to precisely establish the testing period during test runs in a trading strategy.

Drag & Drop in Kommandozeile

Drag & Drop in the command line

You can now drag and drop symbols from the symbol list into the command line, allowing you to quickly create spreads. You no longer have to manually look for symbols but can use Drag & Drop to insert symbol names directly into the command line. This is extremely useful when the data provider’s symbol names are not expressive (e.g. with Trayport).

Toolbox Suchfunktion

Search function for indicators and trading strategies

A search field for indicators and trading strategies has now been integrated directly into the Tool Box, allowing you to find and use the desired code with its symbol or name.

Löschen älterer Werkzeuge

Deleting older tools

When deleting older drawing tools (i.e. out-dated drawing tools that are no longer needed), you can now set the exact time when all past charts should be deleted.

CSV-Export

Extensive CSV export

The CSV export of complete chart contents (Data-> Export) is now very simple because all the data from OHL and volumes, as well as data from all indicators and trading strategy outputs, is stored.

Prefix-Auswahl

Prefix selection button

The ‘prefix button’ allows you set your data provider in the command line. The new Tradesignal Market Data System allows you to work, for instance, with Reuters and Bloomerg simultaneously – the only thing you need to do is select your prefix and the correct symbol name.

Öffnen der Workspaces

Opening defined workspaces automatically when the programme starts

Define a label (yellow, red, blue) for your workspaces and decide which ones should be automatically opened by Tradesignal when you start.

Additional improvements

Dragging and dropping symbols or symbol lists (including Chain Codes) into the chart using the Drag & Drop function either replaces or simultaneously inserts all the desired symbols at once.

Chart-Objects (Indicators, Subcharts, Strategies) can now be moved more easily with Drag&Drop. So now you can align the object in the corresponding set direction of the scale by using the drag.

Quickly changing the timespan or period for all charts is now also possible. By holding down the CTRL key when selecting the period or timespan, you create the desired change for all charts in the selected workspace. The available options now include six months in addition to five and ten years.

The Copy & Paste export of a chart into the Windows clipboard is also new, and can be inserted into a different programme (e.g. Excel).

During the optimisation process when you apply a trading strategy to an indicator the parameters of the indicator can now be included and tested.

In the editor for the Composite Symbol, a new Symbol Picker has been created for a simplified use of Inline Instruments.

The calculation method for the Candle Rollover has been revised. In periods shorter than one day (e.g. 5 hours) the candle calculation will begin at the start of the day and be reset at the end of the day.

Collaboration

Passwortschutz

Write and read protection for workspaces

Workspaces can now be password-protected. This is very useful if you want to prevent any changes being made when you are storing the workspace in a location that you share with others. Workspaces can not only be write-protected but also read-protected.

Alarm-Funktion

Warning when updating packets

This means that with packets (i.e. directories) in which indicators, trading strategies or workspaces are stored, and where these are shared with other users, you can activate a monitoring function. You will receive a warning to refresh the packet if data is added or changed within the packet, which ensures that you always see the most current content in the Tradesignal (Data -> Options -> ‛Warning during refresh’).

Gemeinsame Symbollisten

Joint Symbol Lists

This means that with packets (i.e. directories) in which indicators, trading strategies or workspaces are stored, and where these are shared with other users, you can activate a monitoring function. You will receive a warning to refresh the packet if data is added or changed within the packet, which ensures that you always see the most current content in the Tradesignal Enterprise Edition (Data -> Options -> ‛Warning during refresh’).

Additions to the Equilla area

The formula language Equilla offers a high degree of flexibility in creating indicators and trading strategies across all Tradesignal products. We have expanded this area even further in the new version of Tradesignal.

Inline instruments

Inline instruments can be replaced with Inputs. This long requested function allows for entirely new variants when creating indicators and trading strategies. It allows you to create and assemble portfolios entirely on your own. Using the Optimiser, you can test strategies with Inline instruments against a number of instruments.

Example:This example displays arrays and inline instruments with the List command. In the example, they are used to create a portfolio system without first opening the individual instruments as charts; instead, the instruments are loaded and traded in the code. The resulting equity curve displays the P/L of all traded instruments.

Code:Meta:Synopsis("Example indicator that is designed to be the parent of a trading strategy for which the strategy author would like to 'stress test' by varying the indicators input parameters during optimization."),Author("Tradesignal GmbH");

Arrays: prices[count](0); // Stores normalized prices for each portfolio member so we do not have to recalculate them

avg = 0;

// Compute the portfolio average based on normalized pricesFor i =0To count - 1Begin

Expanded DrawText commands

The DrawText command has been expanded with a hyperlink function, allowing additional information for a security to be displayed from a Watchlist. This allows users to create an indicator that displays additional information for a specific instrument from in-house intranet sources or even external internet sources.

Equilla-Expansion: Use Order Command in Equilla-Functions

Optimise your trading system and outsource redundant programming in a separate function. Right now Order Commands (buy, sell, short, etc) can be applied in Functions.

New Meta-property OutputTimeStamps

The new Meta-property “OutputTimeStampsˮ allows users to set timestamps for the output for strategies or indicators using several input instruments.

New Equilla commands for P&F Charts

There are two commands to facilitate trading strategies used in Point & Figure Charts: Boxsize(Price), AddBoxes(Price, Quantity).

Drag & Drop functions in one script

Drag and drop Symbol Lists into an Equilla script for a more simplified way of creating instrument lists: simply drag a symbol into your script in order to avoid typos. Symbol Lists are automatically inserted as a Chain into the script.

Improved output window

A new output window with its own filter input field enables a ‛Pause for Updates’ and simultaneously increases the maximum number of entries in the output window. The output was increased to 100,000 entries but can be increased further to 10,000,000.

Additional options for administrators

Nachladen historischer Daten

Deleting historical data

When historical data for a Bloomberg data feed has to be reloaded, you can do this yourself by using the Session Manager. The data will then be loaded directly onto the TMDS.

Central configuration for the connection setup

The new Tradesignal Enterprise Edition can be configured so that connection settings for the TMDS will be loaded from a central location. Afterwards, the user will only have read-only access to connection settings.

Central update server

By adding an update server, Tradesignal Enterprise Edition can continuously check whether a new edition of Tradesignal Enterprise is available. Tradesignal Enterprise Edition displays a message when a new update is available, allowing the user to install it.

Landing screen

It is now possible to turn off the News Window on the landing screen. Your Tradesignal application will then start by itself.

The new Tradesignal Market Data System – 5

Alongside the new Tradesignal we are introducing the even more powerful and efficient new Tradesignal Market Data System.

Die neue Tradesignal Market Data System Gui

A new interface

Many aspects of the new Tradesignal Market Data System’s interface were tailored to the needs of users. The Tradesignal Market Data System Management Console is now managing several Tradesignal Market Data systems – irrespective of the version used. The version in use is displayed with its current name.

Several commands that drive the data bank can only be executed by clicking a button.

The activation of functions for logging information has been simplified and now facilitates a more intuitive operation.

Auswahl der Datenfeeds

Several data feeds

From now on the new Tradesignal Market Data System can be used simultaneously with the Reuters, Bloomberg and Trayport data providers.

More symbols

The limit of 2000 instruments per Tradesignal Market Data System has been increased to 10000.

Official support for new Windows versions

In addition to the 32-bit versions (Windows XP to Windows 7), all 64-bit Windows versions are now also officially supported.

Connecting to Bloomberg

From now on the Tradesignal Market Data System (only locally) can be connected to a Bloomberg Professional Terminal via the BBComm Interface and allows users to simultaneously use other data feeds such as Reuters or Trayport.

Expanded recovery of missing ticks

With this new version the Tradesignal Market Data System supports the data reconciliation with a Failover Tradesignal Market Data System instead of a Recovery Tradesignal Market Data System. This saves a server in the Tradesignal Market Data System infrastructure.

Tick-Filter

Improved tick filtering

The filtering of ticks has been considerably expanded. Criteria for filtering bad ticks can now be precisely established in the Tradesignal Market Data System.

Using the “Olson” Timezone database

All data providers will now rely on the “Olson” Timezone database. So now the timezone and the change from summer to winter time can be adjusted precisely and independently from live feed data.

Deleting unused symbol classes by users

You can define individual settings for deleting symbol classes in the new Tradesignal Market Data System.

Expanded contract displays (Reuters)

A Reuters data feed also allows you to access expired contracts. These are displayed as Symbol Lists in Tradesignal.

VImproved license management

The new Licence Manager now supports setting up groups and importing and exporting licence settings.

Batch-Import

Using a batch command allows you to import RIC lists and their corresponding histories in a DBU format.

E-Mail Logs

On request, the Tradesignal Market Data System can create a ZIP file via the Email Function, which contains all the necessary logs of the connected providers.

Tradesignal Version 5.6.3

Target Cursor/Tooltip in a multi timeframe chart should show the current value of a higher period series for each point in the lower period series.

More specific error messages for invalid symbols.

Add username and password fields to TXML client configuration pane that will be passed as the URL parameters txmluser and txmlpass to the TXML server with each request.

Add options to the Tradesignal Chart Viewer properties panel to control interpolation and anti-aliasing of scaled images so the user may customize the sharpness of the generated images to a finer degree.

Add support to use up to 4 GB of memory.

Implement handling for JA instruments where data is collected 'in the future' and update to latest TT DLLs.

The bug fixes:

2 composite instruments in a scanner can lead to an unhandled exception.

Left handle disappears in panoramic scrollbar when showing full data history.

Panoramic scrollbar shows wrong value range when mixing two charts when one of which has irratic data including many zeros.

Dirty flag in workspace tab for forward curve when reopening workspace after saving.

Irregular crashing when requesting data after a period change following a manual reconnection.

Instruments in a scanner become disconnected from the TMDS stopping and starting the TMDS following optimizing.
